– The object brought by Ennio Candotti, general director of the museum. It is a big ball made out of natural fiber thread, used to not get lost while walking through parts of the forest without any marked trail. The end of the rope is tied to a tree and the ball is unraveled as he goes.

– Visit to the Feira do Produtor (market), in the outskirts of Manaus. Here participants observed the organization of the organic shapes, colors, scents, packaging and improvisations among other elements .

– Visit to the Ducke Reserve, where we saw the “live museum” of the Amazon / MUSA. During this trail, the participants observed in loco various aspects of the forest: materials as “breu branco” (a white and fragrant resin) and shapes as cuias (gourds), mushrooms, trees’ barks, various seeds, etc.

– Group meeting inside the Reserve, outdoors, where each participant commented on their “findings” and indicated design intentions for the next workshop day.

– Making of objects with the collected materials. Each participant developed his/her own idea towards personal interests, such as the concept, the shape or the functionality.
